The Storm (2-0) was within seven at the half, but a hot-shooting host five created turnovers and offense in a second half that saw CSU outscore LEC, 48-27.

Lake Erie was solid in the early going, getting four points from Chrissy Delaney over the first five minutes of play. At the 15-minute mark the Storm trailed by just one point (7-6), but the Vikings then went on a 13-3 run. LEC went into halftime trailing, 28-21. A staunch Storm defense held CSU scoreless over the final four-and-a-half minutes of the first frame.

Lake Erie shot just 28.6 percent (8-of-28) in the opening 20 minutes.

A Jackie Murray jumper accounted for the first bucket of the second half, and her two-pointer brought the Strom to within five (28-23). But that's as close as Lake Erie would get the rest of the way. A Haley Schmitt basket ignited a decisive 16-2 run for Cleveland State, a run that saw LEC commit six turnovers.

CSU worked its lead to 20 by the 13:56-mark. The contest was mostly an even exchange from there on, save for a late 12-4 run by the Vikings.

Lake Erie shot the ball better in the second half, connecting in 46.2 percent (12) of 26 attempts. Cleveland State shot a red-hot 53.8 percent (14-of-26) from the field in the second. The Vikings went 4-of-9 from beyond the 3-point arc in the second half and 8-for-16 from distance in the game.

Five players reached double digits in scoring for CSU. That contingent was led by Kiersten Green, who tallied 16.
